Um, musicians are funnier you know, than actors on the whole.
My interests and obsessions have always been so wide-ranging that I keep popping my head out of different boxes as much as possible.
I remember candy rationing until I was, like, 7.
Any part that makes you world famous has got to be a blessing, hasn't it?
In most careers, you find something you do well, and you tie an increasingly larger bow on the package.
I still find it quite easy to find my way into a child's imagination. We're all Peter Pan ourselves in some respects. Everybody should keep some grip on childhood, even as a grownup.
I find there is something very intimate about being the voice in someone's ear when they're driving.
I've turned down a lot of roles to make time to record and tour.
The way the world is, I think a silly evening in the theatre is a good thing, to take our minds off terror.
Contrary to popular belief, I don't just play dreadful old villains.
Well, you know... I grew up in postwar Britain, when you were lucky to get anything to eat. People in America have absolutely no conception of how austere England was after the war. While you were all sort of eating butter and eggs, we were eating rabbit. That's what there was in the butcher shop.
When I did 'Amadeus,' I hadn't done a play for five years. And I was so happy doing it and felt so foolish that I hadn't done a play for such a long time that I wanted to go back and really kind of reach out for a classical career.
Musicals are famous for being in a constant state of flux.
I think artists are driven by the engine of their own talent, but it's a question of what use they put it to.
